The Brian Lehrer Show

Still from "An Inconvenient Truth" (climatecrisis.net)

David and Gore-liath

Wednesday, May 24, 2006

Laurie David, the environmentalist married to Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David, is the producer of the new movie, An Inconvenient Truth, about Al Gore and combating global warming. Plus: Ned Lamont, the anti-war Democrat who is seeking to unseat Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman -- his showing at the State Democratic convention has forced a primary in the race; a psychology professor on why she thinks Generation Me is the right moniker for today's young adults; and listeners speak to Brian, and each other, on the topic of English as the national language.
